Answer:

Emitted power will be equal to 7.85\times 10^{-5}watt

Explanation:

It is given factory whistle can be heard up to a distance of R=2.5 km = 2500 m

Threshold of human hearing I=10^{-12}W/m^2

We have to find the emitted power

Emitted power is equal to P=I\times A

P=I\times 4\pi R^2

P=10^{-12}\times 4\times 3.14\times  2500^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}watt

So emitted power will be equal to 7.85\times 10^{-5}watt

Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV

How can controlling the way light bends and reflects be used to help people?
Vinil7 [7]

too much sun is dangerous for humans and can cause cancer so it's important that light is reflected for example a pool reflects water back to space that is why water sometimes is cold because it reflects light
